Answer:
The two solutions are 5 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a
Let us solve the question using this fact
∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3
∴ I2x - 8I = 2
By using the fact above
→ 1st solution
∵ 2x - 8 = 2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
∴ 2x = 10
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 5
→ 2nd solution
∵ 2x - 8 = -2
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8
∴ 2x = 6
→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x
∴ x = 3
∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
Hi there!
To solve this problem, we need to find the total amount of paint used by adding the two fractions.
First, we need to find the common denominators below adding.
1/2 = 2/4
1/4 = 1/4
The common denominator is 4.
Now, we add the mixed numbers together:
3 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 5 3/4
Since 5 3/4 can't be simplified, the answer is:
5 3/4 liters of paint
Hope this helps!

Really sorry if this is incorrect, I had this question on my Lesson 16 test, and I don't know if it's correct or not...
